Pets in Costa Rica by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Many of us in Costa Rica have four-legged friends. What about you? Do you have one or more pets? Share your experience with us! What are the formalities to import pets in Costa Rica? What about pet adoption procedures in the ...
We brought two dogs down from the states. After some panics when we found out that on the United flight we'd booked, the dogs wouldn't get in until after 5, which meant they'd have to spend the night in Cargo and have to be ... Read More
Grecia versus San Ramon by Gilbertoo
We will be visiting these 2 areas in order to determine where we would like to move. Can someone tell me the positives and negatives of both towns.
We found our rental by accident (fortunate accident). We were staying in a little apartment in El Cajon (one of the barrios in the mountains above Grecia) last summer and checking out both Grecia and San Ramon. We happened to meet a woman who had a ... Read More
Grecia versus San Ramon by Gilbertoo

Been reading a lot lately about "border hopping" (renewing your visa after 90 days) The Panama border security seems to be very difficult at this moment, you need to be able to show them $500,00 + a ticket to wherever you came from. Personally I ...
Haven't done this yet, but I DO have bus tix for Nicaragua and my neighbor just came and went with NO problems. We HAVE to go back to the States in December (our 1st 3 months) so I already have a plane ticket for then. I just switched my previously ... Read More
Horses in or near Grecia?
Hi, We moved here in early October 2013 and are happily living in one of the farming communities in the mountains above Grecia. The most difficult part of moving for me was leaving my beloved horse Macho behind. My horse for me was more than simply ... Read More
Moving a pet successfully to Costa Rica? by Ruby on the Road
Hi- My boyfriend and I are actively considering moving to Costa Rica at the end of the year. Our dogs are our kids and moving without them is not an option. I have looked in to pet relocation, which seems like the safest option, but the quote was ...
If you are using any airlines' "pet program" whether it is cargo or excess baggage (they mean different things, BTW), make sure when you make your reservations that they are not on a "partner airline" because their policies may be totally different ... Read More
